A notable fact that's missed from playing the games without having read the books, is that witchers are very weak magically. It's an area for the sake of enjoyable gameplay is overemphasized.

The conundrum with Letho comes down to how much judgement you want to pass.
Yes, he's been manipulating sorceresses and murdering royalty to prime the North for an invasion by Nilfgaard that's going to be bloody.
But at the same time he let Geralt live, and in Geralt's absence looked after Yennefer, who did nothing but continually get him and his fellow Witchers into shit while also trying to break them apart. In fact, the only reason he ended up speaking to the Empire was because he was caught by Nilfgaard as they region hopped. Again, protecting Yennefer. And if you chose to save Philippa he goes and saves Triss from the Nilfgaardians.
Why should Geralt give two fucks about the Northern Kingdoms anyway? Each and every king is still a cunt.
In addition to this, CDPR have stated they wanted to try and curb "do every side quest before main quest" behaviour, despite their abundance, by having mixed levelling/difficulty. So folk shouldn't be afraid to dig into the main quest. A lot of stuff wont be possible until you're high levelled, and like GTA/other open world games there's post-campaign play to clear up other quests too.
No mention of the fact that Witcher has the greatest twist ending in video game history? For shame.
Witcher 1 is self contained and somewhat inconsistent with book lore, and since they are digging deep into that in WH, I doubt TW1 will be much referenced, if at all.Witcher 1's ending? It's pretty great - and CD Projekt stuck to their guns for it, too. Far as I'm aware, they've never officially confirmed it, though the game itself is confirmation enough.
That reminds me, I hope that final choice is referenced in 3. It seemed awfully significant at the time.
Thats not a callback to the witcher 1, but to the books. They need kaer morhen and the rest of the witchers to explain better who is Ciri for the people who havent read them.I hope there's some Witcher 1 callbacks, like characters and stuff. Kaer Morhen & its people, along with Geralt's W1 Tunic is a good start.

What's this? Can't remember what happened at the end of TW1

There are some really great recap videos on YouTube too if anyone is feeling out of their depth:

Do you mean? I doubt this will be taken into account in any way, since the story of W3 seems to require his presence.killing or sparing the king of the Wild Hunt
Right. I just mean, it's nice to see things from Witcher 1 in Witcher 3, reimagined in even greater fidelity.Thats not a callback to the witcher 1, but to the books. They need kaer morhen and the rest of the witchers to explain better who is Ciri for the people who havent read them.
Like they have already said, the main story of the witcher 1 is somewhat incosistent with the books.
Is it explained anywhere why Letho goes around killing Kings?

I haven't read the books, so no
